An Evaluation Form For Professional Staff Nurses, Barbara Jean Brauer

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The critical incident technique was used to gather the data for the study. The respondents were nursing supervisory personnel employed in …

An Investigation Of The Feasibility Of Establishing A School Of Nursing In Connection With Bella Vista Hospital, M. Eulalia White

The question has been raised whether it would be feasible to establish a school of nursing in connection with the hospital. This would give opportunity for Seventh-day Adventist young people who seek nursing education and would help prepare nurses to staff the hospital.

Through a survey of the Seventh-day Adventist church and youth membership in the Inter-American Division, it was found …

This study was conducted on a selected medical unit of the Loma Linda Sanitarium and Hospital. The normative survey method as recommended by the Division of Nursing Resources was used. The morning and afternoon head nurses or their reliefs were …

A Study Of The Influence Of Acid-Base Changes On Myocardial And Vasopressor Responses To Arterenol And Epinephrine, Earl E. Aldinger

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

It is well known that when the body is subjected to various stress conditions there is almost always a reflex release of certain neurohumoral substances in an attempt to compensate for these abnormal conditions. Acid-base changes, for example, are some of the most frequent occurring under these conditions. As mentioned throughout this thesis there is a direct correlation between acidosis end extreme hypotension or shock. The objective of these experiments was to investigate and determine the influence of acidosis on the cardiovascular response to the sympatho-adrenal hormones, arterenol and epinephrine, which are released in large amounts during shock.
